PARIS--(Business Wire)--Regulatory News: AREVA (Paris:CEI): We are pleased to inform you that the 2008 Reference Document is available. I've never heard that a champion has big feet, or blades in his case.  Pistorius still needs to hit a certain time in order to run in the individual 400 meters and if he doesn't, he can still be hand-picked for the South African relay squad without qualifying. At 46.56 seconds, Pistorius still holds the 400 meter Paralympic world record.  This still leaves him behind typical Olympic qualifying times around 45.55.  However, now that his appeal is over he can dedicate his time and energy to improving his strength and conditioning.In a world where athletes are putting things into their bodies to make them different, Pistorius unfortunately had circumstances that were out of his control that made him different. .
